Leadership Tips & Training Creative Journaling Ideas:

1. Write to your children in the journal, sharing with them what the Lord is teaching you. This will become your very own memoirs.
2. Create a blessing journal, by filling the prayer journal with a list each day of things for which you are thankful.
3. Write out the memory verse each day in your prayer journal and pray the verse. This will help with memorization and it will make the scriptures more meaningful.
4. Have one member volunteer each week to share at least one entry from their prayer journal.
